Hannity, Hastert et al say the Foley affair (pun intended) is a liberal plot... OK... So how to explain that ABC Reporter Brian Ross, who's worked the Foley story, told the NYT it was a Republican who helped him break it?
Mr. Ross dismissed suggestions by some Republicans that the news was disseminated as part of a smear campaign against Mr. Foley.
"I hate to give up sources, but to the extent that I know the political parties of any of the people who helped us, it would be the same party," Mr. Ross said, referring to Republicans.
